HOUSTON - A Carlyle Group $1 billion deepwater crude export project faces a delay of up to 18 months after regulators called for a full environmental review, officials said, a setback in the private equity firm’s race to be first to open a new deepwater, U.S. Gulf Coast export hub.
The U.S. shale boom has prompted a surge in oil exports, upending global supply and sparking a race to build infrastructure that can handle those vessels. Exports recently hit a record 3.6 million barrels a day and should keep rising. The U.S. Energy Department has projected that domestic output will exceed 13 million bpd by 2020.
“They took the position that it’s better to do an EIS,” Strawbridge said referring to the lengthier, full review. “We know with 100 percent certainty it’s not going to take longer than 24 months.” Mark Williford, a spokesman for the Army Corps, would not confirm whether it had recommended a full EIS for the project.
“The EIS hasn’t changed our development plans. We have had internal discussions about ‘do we want to amend our agreements with shippers?’ and we said ‘no, we can make it,’” said Hussein. “Everything is still on time.”
